Coom Pretty One 1934 Sarony

A little north country girl
next door to me,
Every morn at her window I see,
Pieces of bread for the birdies she brings
And as she feeds them
she merrily sings:

Coom, pretty one,
Coom, pretty one,
coom, coom, coom, coom,
coom in my garden
and whistle and hum,
Coom to my window
and pick up this crumb,
So Coom, pretty one,
Coom, pretty one,
coom, coom, coom, coom.

A great big fat spider
each morning I see,
spinning his web
just as fast as can be,
Long comes a fly
not too terribly wise,
Fat spider spies him
and artfully cries:

Coom, pretty one,
Coom, pretty one,
coom, coom, coom, coom,
coom in my parlour
and don't look so glum,
I think that you'll make
some nice chewing gum,
So Coom, pretty one,
Coom, pretty one,
coom, coom, coom, coom.

Invading the pools
at the lovely sea side,
A beautiful crab
in the rocks I espied,
Into a crevice
he instantly fled,
Outside his refuge
I coaxingly said:

Coom, pretty one,
Coom, pretty one,
coom, coom, coom, coom,
I'll prove to be
much more friendly than some,
I'll let you pinch
all my fingers and thumb
So Coom, pretty one,
Coom, pretty one,
coom, coom, coom, coom.

I met a nice sweetie
one night in the park,
She said: "I love being
out here in the dark,"
And tho' it was beautiful
kissing sweet Nell,
I cried, as the park keeper
rang his old bell.

Coom, pretty one,
Coom, pretty one,
coom, coom, coom, coom,
Her lips were glued close
to mine just like gum,
I cried: "Here's your husband
oh don't be so dumb
Coom, pretty one,
Coom, pretty one,
coom, coom, coom, coom.
